Everyone has their own expectations being in public. Like you said, it can even depend on where you’re from, and in places like the US with multiple cultures crossing over, there can be clashes in those expectations. The key is to respect those expectations once they’re made known. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for someone to broach a conversation like this, nor do I think it’s wrong to want to be left alone, but we should be able to have some degree of interaction without being insulting.
Like I said, I get people being touchy, and I don’t think the people he’s talking about were bad or anything, I just think it’s a mistake to handle it quite like they did.
